I bought a 2010 corolla on january 15, 2010. I am not pleased with the way it steers. At first, i attributed it to being a new car as everything has to be broken in. However, after nearly 4 weeks, it's still the same. The car is very hard to drive in a straight line. The steering wheel seems extremely tight. The least little thing will cause the car to veer to the right or left. It requires excessive grip on the…

I was just reading this article on msnbc about 2010 corollas (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35314540/ns/business-autos/) and yes! I have had this happen to me as well. The car veers to the left and right, and does make it difficult to stay in the lane. It doesn't occur all the time however. I haven't noticed if it only occurs going over a certain speed, or how to reproduce on a consistent basis. All i know, is that it…

I own a 2010 toyota corolla, which my 19 year old daughter drives, which is involved in the gas pedal recall. She also describes an steering problem -- difficulty keeping the car from veering, has to hold steering wheel tight to keep it straight, describes it like car is sliding on ice. When i asked our toyota dealer service dept advisor about it he said to check the tire inflation. I now see that this is a…

When i drive the car at normal highway speeds the vehicle feels like a strong crosswind is blowing the car causing me to correct the feeling of the wind blowing the car. It can also be compared to the tires being caught in a groove in the road. When i correct the feeling of being pushed or pulled to one side the vehicle over corrects itself causing me to have to slow down or put a very firm two hand grip on the…

I have been taking my corolla to the dealership almost every week since 01/28/2010 and every week i complained about how the car was drifting side to side and how on low windy days i have to fight the steering wheel to keep it in its lane at speeds above 65mph. And every time i take it over there they say "well the car is working to factory standards" and they will send me on my way. I have had my brakes bled and my…

My new toyota corolla 2010 - when driving on the highway (60+ mph), the vehicle will all of a sudden start to wander back and forth in the lane, for a few hundred yards. Then as quickly as it started, it stops. The wandering has almost created 4 collisions so far. This needs to be looked at before someone gets seriously hurt, as these problems are happening at hi speeds on the highways. *tr

I recently purchased a 2010 toyota corolla. The car has a very loose steering system. When you are driving at speeds under 45 mph the steering is very unresponsive and extremely light to turn. At highway speeds the car will move around the lane without moving the steering wheel. The car seems to pull from side to side similar to the alignment being out of line, but it goes both ways in an almost jerky motion. At…

I don't remember exactly the cause other than i lost control. Can't say any of the recalls did or did not cause the accident. My primary complaint is that i paid for front and side airbags, and none deployed on a car that rolled two or…

Due to the above issues…
